Solution

The correct option is D Lynching immigrants and blaming African Americans for the crimes
Nativism refers to a political sentiment that favors greater rights and privileges for white, native-born Americans. Nativists did not lynch immigrants and blame African American for the crimes. They committed acts of violence against them, but those acts usually were intended to intimidate, not to murder.
